Making Masks – Robotics Team

The Vanguard FIRST Tech Challenge Teams wanted to support the community somehow, so they reached out to local hospitals to see if they were in need of anything. Using an at-home Ender 3 3D-printer and 3D-printers at school, the teams printed face shields to help during the pandemic. The Vanguard Robotics students met through Zoom to discuss collecting materials for the shields such as filament, clear plastic, and elastic and creating the masks. At this point, they have donated 25 masks to Hillcrest, with plans to produce more if needed.
